Question for .ioc File View

Hello,

Currently I am working with a view like this:

and I was wondering if there was any way for me to change the view into something like this:

or is the view something that is varies based on the different chips?

I don't know why but the view that I am working with is very irritating to me, so if possible I would prefer to work with something that looks like the second picture.

    Hello @jindo85547 and welcome to the community,

    That depends on the package you would use for your application.

    The first one is BGA and the second one is LQFP. 

    You can't change the package based on an already configured project. You need to start from scratch based on the MCU part number.

    To have the second package, you need to type the part number in Commercial part number field and select that part number then double click on the part number shown in the table at bottom right of the window.

    Hope I answered your question.

    As @mƎALLEm said, the view you get is a view of the chip package you have selected.

    So the only way to change the view is to change the package.

    The chip datasheet will tell you what package options are available; the "Ordering information scheme" at the end of the datasheet shows you how the package type is encoded into the part number:

    Hence you can see that an STM32F103C8T has an LQFP package with 48 pins

    A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

    Thank you to everyone who responded! It looks like the STMF746 Discovery Board that I am using has that one package, so I supposed I will just push through with it. This was a great learning experience, and I am thankful to everyone who responded and elaborated!
